"Defending the Indefensible" is a provocative book written by Austrian economist Walter Block, which offers an unconventional perspective on the issue of a free and open economy. The author uses examples of the "vulnerable" and justifies why such people as a janitor, a speculator, a liar and even a pirate can have their place and a useful role in society. The book provokes discussion and forces us to rethink generally accepted stereotypes. "Defending the Indefensible" inspires readers to expand their horizons and look at problems from a different perspective.
